Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) using neoantigen-specific T cells can lead to tumor regression. Here the authors use an in vitro stimulation approach to isolate tumor specific memory T cells from peripheral blood of metastatic epithelial cancer patients targeting unique as well as shared mutations in the KRAS oncogene.
